I haven’t done this in a while, but today’s “comic strip” is a mash-up of panels from daily strips that will appear next week, a preview of cartoons beginning March 6. I know: it makes no sense really, but don’t you hate it when you sit through a three-minute movie preview and feel as if you know exactly what’s going to happen in the two-hour version? And when did “previews” become “trailers?” Have you ever sat in a theater and been invited to view “Trailers of Coming Attractions?” Somehow, I blame Turner Classic Movies for this. I believe TCM introduced me to the Hollywood term “trailer.” Now, the film and video landscape is littered with trailers.

Sent a blind-cc. group the msg. below re circling turkeys, and got a reply, which I’ve moved down, from my elder son, a BUMC pastor. I think it also does not constitute a religious post. Strong’s is a ‘Complete Concordance’ to the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, done ages ago w/o cptrs. It and its history are online.

Beats me. I cannot get the video to move. Maybe some of you can. Lemme know.
Is this of religious significance? End times? Neither ‘cat’ nor ‘cats’ is in Strong’s.* I knew that but checked. Did not check for turkey, since the New World didn’t exist back then, and the present Turkey was then known as Asia, Anatolia, and such.
*[Major oversight! Maybe they are in lost ‘original manuscripts’.] Peace,

Only the cognoscenti are allowed to see the movement. The motion of the turkeys powers the spiritual vortex to take the cat’s spirit to the Heaviside Layer.

Ok, kid, your spelling needed work, but you do know your Broadway musicals. Love, Dad
Re today’s Real Time Cartoon: Perhaps I’ve figured out Jimmy’s technique…do a number of consecutive cartoons on innocuous subjects and then sneak in a “spicy” one.

I tried helping making bed – it does not work.

You are thinking St Patrick’s Day Storm 1965 my 2nd day in MN.
Bemidji swim team drove to La Cross meet in that storm. My brother was
on the team.

Humming Birds will be on 7pm CT on PBS

Owls have 7 also?

Llee:
Buckwheat Honey
OB: ’65 sounds right. Stuart was about 7, dwarfed by the snowbank.
Owls may have 7, but it varies in birds [maybe related groups; families, orders, etc.]. Bird’s w/ long necks generally have more vertebrae. Most mammals have 7. Modern whales have no necks; the 7 vertebrae are fused into a solid mass, but the 7 can easily be distinguished. I suspected the few exceptions are online, but cannot go there while writing here.
Don’t remember special circumstances, but if I was around, often helped Elaine make our bed. She was obviously in charge. It was no big deal.
Peace,
Ghost,
I’m not sure today’s comic is so innocuous. I don’t have JJ’s skill with innuendo, though, so I will have to leave my thought unstated.
Warning: You can waste more than a half hour browsing art others can afford to buy at Sotheby’s.

Some really nice items here, maybe 80-100. Go R or L and eventually end where you started. Very few dated. One attractive but unconvincing American Indian. Been to a museum while at my laptop. Peace
I too, get the popup telling me to disable my adblocker. Now if I installed it to avoid all the ##### intrusive ads, why would I want to disable so I can see their ads? If they want to make it subscription only, they should just do it. Anyway, when I click the x on the upper right of the popup it goes away.
Mostly, this site
http://pix11.com/2017/03/03/april-the-giraffe-changes-some-behaviors-as-she-continues-to-prepare-for-birth-at-new-york-zoo/
is repeats. Once, she was in a different corner of the pen, which may have been live, and once the male[?] next door was not in usual position. You eventually learn they would like you to ‘join’? Don’t know enough / outfit to praise or not. Don’t oppose zoos in general, but do deplore miserable critters. Blake [+/-], ‘A bird in a cage puts all heaven in a rage.’ May depend.
Peace,
Went online. Seems like a legit outfit, licensed, inspected, etc. Sent ‘Contact Us’ the msg. below. Only kind of situation where I flaunt my credentials.
Dear TheAnimalAdventurePark@gmail.com
Your ‘live’ site / the expecting mother Reticulated Giraffe is obviously NOT live. Please fix.

Here’s a nice song, well-sung and played: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7SliN-82P0
Storms are brewing here in Missouri. Going to go see Llee in morning. Love her and love her hometown. Carthage, MO is a lovely historic small town full of charming houses, shops, art galleries, restaurants. Llee is as delightful and charming as her hometown. I love her to pieces.
Great news. Went on two week trip, ate royally and lost 4.5 pounds.
Jackie:
You may have eaten Royally but obviously wisely.
I did not mention the dead cat because I have four loved ones that I would not want to see dead in the street. The later reference to church was because a walk of 20 times around the church was mentioned so I saw humor in the coincidence. It was not a dig at going to church. I went this weekend myself and was disappointed to find that it was of the waving arms in the air variety. They also had a Christian rock band. A very loud one.
Seems to be a noisy & stormy night all the way from Michigan’s u.p. SW into Oklahoma. Praying that those in the way suffer no harm or material damage.
I’m baacckkk 🙂

Have a lot to catch up on, reset bookmarks etc….will be back later. Still at Dad’s. If I had an audience the other night, Dad asked me where I learned how to be a nurse, I would have said I had stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night…..lol
Good for you Mindy
